Evoges Guardian EG33W 33 Way Consumer Unit with 100A Main Switch (No SPD) White Metal

The Evoges Guardian EG33W 33 Way Consumer Unit is a high-capacity metal-clad distribution board designed for large residential, multi-occupancy, and commercial electrical installations. Featuring a 100A double-pole main switch and thirty-three outgoing ways, it provides a central point for safe electrical distribution, offering reliable isolation of the incoming supply while accommodating a substantial number of outgoing circuits.

As part of the versatile Evoges Guardian range, the EG33W allows electricians to configure circuit protection using compatible MCBs, RCBOs, and AFDDs. This flexibility enables each installation to be tailored to its specific requirements, whether protecting lighting circuits, socket outlets, dedicated appliances, outbuildings, EV charging points, or commercial loads. MCBs provide overload and short-circuit protection, RCBOs add individual residual current protection, and AFDDs help reduce fire risks by detecting potentially dangerous arc faults.

Supplied without an integrated Surge Protection Device (SPD), the EG33W is suitable for installations where surge protection is not required by design specification or where alternative surge protection measures are already installed. Built to current UK standards and carrying UKCA and CE certification, this consumer unit provides a robust, compliant, and future-ready solution for demanding electrical installations.

What Else Do I Need With This Consumer Unit?

To complete your installation, you'll need compatible circuit protection devices from the Evoges Guardian range. The exact combination will depend on the number and type of circuits being installed, as well as the level of protection required under the installation design and current wiring regulations.

Guardian MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers)

Guardian MCBs provide protection against overloads and short circuits and are commonly used where residual current protection is provided elsewhere within the installation.

Available ratings:

• EGM06B6A – 6A MCB (lighting circuits)
• EGM06B10A – 10A MCB
• EGM06B16A – 16A MCB
• EGM06B20A – 20A MCB
• EGM06B32A – 32A MCB
• EGM06B40A – 40A MCB
• EGM06B50A – 50A MCB
• EGM06B63A – 63A MCB

Typical applications include lighting circuits, socket circuits, radial circuits, immersion heaters, dedicated appliance supplies, and other fixed electrical loads.

Guardian RCBOs (Residual Current Breakers with Overcurrent Protection)

Guardian RCBOs combine overload, short-circuit, and residual current protection within a single device. By protecting each circuit individually, RCBOs help minimise disruption, as only the affected circuit disconnects in the event of a fault.

Available ratings:

• EGRB6A30 – 6A RCBO
• EGRB10A30 – 10A RCBO
• EGRB16A30 – 16A RCBO
• EGRB20A30 – 20A RCBO
• EGRB32A30 – 32A RCBO
• EGRB40A30 – 40A RCBO

RCBOs are commonly specified in modern consumer unit installations to provide enhanced safety, improved fault discrimination, and compliance with current wiring regulations.

Guardian AFDD (Arc Fault Detection Device)

For installations requiring additional protection against electrical fires caused by arc faults, the Guardian range includes a 32A AFDD.

Available rating:

• EGAFDD06B32A30 – 32A AFDD RCBO

AFDDs are designed to detect potentially dangerous arc faults that may not be identified by conventional protective devices and can provide an additional level of protection on selected circuits.

Choosing the Right Combination

Your qualified electrician will determine the most appropriate combination of Guardian MCBs, RCBOs, and AFDDs based on the circuit design, load requirements, and the latest edition of BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations), ensuring a safe, compliant, and reliable installation.
